Alder Derek Field of District 3 emphasized the option that Eastside neighborhood transit routes offer to residents traveling downtown: "The Dane County Farmer's Market is one of the most popular attractions for a good reason: the produce and baked goods are fantastic, the producers are delightful to meet, and the Capitol Square is a beautiful setting - especially in the fall. However, this makes traffic a pain downtown, and it can take a while to find parking which I would need to pay for anyway. That is true for most popular events downtown. I am excited to meet more constituents as we let Metro do the driving for us!"

The "Let's Bus To The Farmer's Market" event aims to provide an inclusive atmosphere where Eastside residents can explore transit options near their neighborhoods while engaging their Alders on issues important them. It also provides an opportunity for attendees browse through harvest bounty at Dane County Farmer's Market without having navigate isthmus traffic or look for parking spots.

By fostering collaboration and open dialogue between Alders and their constituents through this event, it hopes build stronger communities that all residents can be proud of calling home.
